I confess I hate getting sick especially when it's a cold / flu and it basically has to take its course with minor symptom relief from drugs that do nothing.

Is it really a confession if it's a truth all of us share? I mean, who *likes* getting sick?

Stop smoking, cut back on drinking, work out 3 times a week, eat a ton of veggies, drink nothing but water/tea and after a few months you will never ever get sick. For real.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
